MaryLea, I share a lot of these ideas with the teachers I work with...........and do them at home with my kids too!Have you ever read about the Reggio Emilia (Italy) educational approach? I studied this approach in grad school and I think you would like it!Love that you are doing all of this at home with your kids!! I am a firm believer in paracticing what you preach (:

Fabulous ideas. We have our children's artwork displayed throughout our house. Most of it is hanging (in frames or on canvases). I really like your ideas of using a plate holder and displaying 3D art in a dedicated area.

Your children's artwork is wonderful, I am impressed with the robot E painted before turning 4.

Thank you so much for your comment and well wishes regarding the birth of our baby girl. I really appreciate that you took the time to leave a kind comment.

Love this post -- the ethos and all the practical ideas. Displaying our children's work really encourages them as artists. Fortunately where I live, it's cheap to frame work. So we do it a lot. But we use alternate display methods too -- clothesline, shelves, acrylic frames.:-)

Thanks for sharing - I have created a coffee table book with photos of their artwork. I rotate their current projects on our frig and door and all over the house. I really need to frame some of the "masterpieces" Right now they are sitting in a bin!! Thanks for the great ideas.
